Our animal laws are SOOOOO inadequate... Did you know that convicted animal abusers can adopt an animal the next day after being found guilty in 35 states? And now it's even easier because the Trump Administration has taken down the page where all the animal abusers are listed. Now, I ask you, how does that make sense?!

Arizona: Over 600 lovebirds flying free in a home where there were nests everywhere, inches of bird poop on the entire floor and being fed nothing but BREAD!!! I keep on telling you, we need to regulate animal husbandry or, at the very least, breeding them! Animals are suffering and dying because of the lack of regulation - you can NOT trust people to do the right thing voluntarily!

A sad and, unfortunately, a type of situation that is becoming more and more common. Old man living by himself and with many birds ends up creating a hoarding situation because he was too ill to take care of them and, by the time the man died and the family called a bird rescue, there were dead birds and surviving ones were malnourished and sick.
